State of Pennsylvania Bedford County
On this 25 th day of August
AD 1840, personally appeared before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Bedford County Elizabeth Easley, a resident of Providence Township in the County of Bedford, aged seventy six years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed July 7 th 1838, entitled "An act granting half pay & pensions to certain widows." That she is the widow of George Easley, who was a captain of Militia, during the Revolutionary War. That her husband the said George Easley, marched from Bedford County Penn a in the latter part of the year 1776, as a substitute for his father, in the Militia of said County, and that during said tour, which which was not shorter than two months, he was marched with a number of others to reinforce the American forces at the battle of Princeton, but did not arrive in time to participate in the battle. He assisted however to bury those who were killed in said battle, and she recollects that in his account of it, he stated that they dug trenches, and just hurried the bodies into them without much regard to order, and covered them over. She cannot remember the name of the Captain under whom he served, but their Col. was Moses Graham, of Bedford County. His next period of service was a tour of two months in the Militia of said County, during which time he generally performed

7 ordinary Garrison duty, and went on express to and from different officers of the Regiment. This service was performed at Martin's Fort, on the Juniata, in Bedford County, and under the immediate command of Lieutenant Jonathan Buck. His next tour of service was with a Corps of volunteers called "Seven months men", who, under the command of Captain (afterwards Col.) John Moore, were marched against the Indians. They were stationed at Frankstown during said tour, scouted against the Indians, and had some skirmishes with them, the particulars of which she cannot recollect. They were out at this time seven months. The tour above mentioned, of two months, was in the year 1777, and the last mentioned, of seven months, she thinks, was in 1778. She remembers that after this, he served several tours in the militia, against the Indians, one of which was at Hissigarn's Fort, and one at Piper's Fort and Frankstown, and the last at the Croppys, at Martin's Fort. He had previously been elected or appointed, a Captain, and served in that capacity during said tours. She cannot say at what particular periods these services were performed, but each tour was not less than two months, and her impression is, that he was out longer, but how much she cannot say. Applicant states that she has been enabled to recollect the facts she has stated, chiefly from the circumstance that she was acquainted with her said husband, from his boyhood, and was herself familiar with the various occurrences and movements of the inhabitants of that day, having come into the country in, about, the eleventh year of her age. She further declares that she was married to the said George Enslin on the second day of December in the year seventeen hundred and eighty three by the Rev. John King

Declaration of Elizabeth Ensley of Bedford Pa

a certificate whereof made out by him is herewith annexed, and that her husband the aforesaid Captain George Easley died in the year 1820 or 1821.

That this deponent at that time, commanded as Sergeant, "Martin's Fort" in Bedford County for two months, and that Captain Eusley for some time before that commanded a Fort some distance from it , called "Bucks Fort" but how long he cannot say. He however knows, that said Captain Eusley was considered as being continually in the service, and he knows that he was much engaged, and deponent can say with certainty that he then knew him to be at least for four months. He also understood that he had served much during the Revolutionary War as a Captain of a Company, and he was told personally, by the late Genl. Benjamin Burd, an Officer of the Revolution, who knew said Capt Eusley well, during the Revolutionary War, and that he was a faithful excellent Officer.

The service in which this deponent, and Captain Easley were engaged, at the time when he knew him, was against the Indians and they were considered as in the service of the United States.

Dear Sir,
Your letter was rec d the day before I left to attend Court here. On my way down I passed within 10 miles of M c Eustis I hired a messenger to go to her house & bring the papers to me here. He went. The affidavit was made. Her son (about 50 years of age) hunted for the old Certificate. He learned it was in the hands of John Moore Esq r in Bedford. He went to Bedford that night (Saturday dark & raining) - On Sabbath he sent the affidavit to me. I now send it to you. - The Certificate is with Moore - locked up - he as I had been for some time - He will not be home before Friday or Saturday. It will then be attended to.
I am sorry for this failure - Can not help it. If you had sent for all at first it might have been there now. But that was overlooked by us both.
The old lady is very frail now and is sinking rapidly - Her friends fear she can not last until spring.
Yours &c
